I am in awe of those EPP-ers [English paper piecers] who are tackling the 1-hexie-block-a-day in Katja Marek's and
Paper Pieces'
Glorious Hexagons quilt-along. They must have a stack of over 200 by now! For me, these 4 hexagons have joined the ranks of my GH collection for a
total of 64.

#5 Caroline (modified) with Splash spring and Eclipse jet. |
On a good note, I'm getting a lot of milage out of the snowmen print from Sharla Fultz's
Winter Bliss collection... using the snowmen as the focal point and flushing out the blocks with blenders and a black solid.

#35 Sharon with Splash spring. |
My winter and holiday themed hexagons are piling up. Perhaps an actual project is on the horizon—a runner or table topper? Pearl Grid (shown here) in light gray is a background option... cool, icy, sleek.

#6 Delores with Eclipse turkey red solid. |
However, the kelly green stars blender is another possibility... warm, cozy, familiar.

#4 Lorraine with Eclipse jet. |
Possibilities...

Snowmen and snowflake hexagons. |
The New Hexagon book is getting a lot of use... as all good books should. What's one of your most-referenced quilting books?
